It's probably not a KDE thing. I'm also using konsole in KDE4, and after
becoming root (via su or su -) I have no Problems starting X applications.
I'm no expert at X authorization stuff. But I know that in the past I also
had trouble when becoming root. Why it works for me and not for you - I
don't know.
Workarounds you might try:
- Emerge sux, and use sux instead of su. Worked for me in the past.
- ssh -Y r...@localhost

I don't use su. When I open the Konsole, it asks for a password. It
just uses the konsole command but it is told to run as root. This is
pretty much how it did in KDE3 tho. When I open it, it pops up a window
and asks for the root password. Then it opens Konsole. This is done
from the little K menu thingy.
That make sense?
